🗣️ Non-Jewish Brits need to stand against antisemitism, and pro-Palestine marches need to stop

Kemi Badenoch, speaking to the JC, said that pro-Palestine marches have become vehicle for the intimidation of Jews in Britain, and that marches, like the upcoming Nakba day, need to stop.

She also spoke about her upbringing in Nigeria, and how it gave her the tools to be able to spot toxic, radical Islamism and also made her unafraid to speak up against it.

She argues the British public needs to take a united stance against antisemitism now.

@ArneRuts Moet ook Mersin verlaten voor Carla Leite. Had ook daar een moeilijk seizoen.

[La Giornata Tipo @parallelecinico]

Questa ragazza in lacrime, qualche giorno fa ha sollevato al cielo il 33esimo trofeo della sua carriera.
Non è un errore: nella sua bacheca ci sono 33 trofei, per la precisione 9 Scudetti, 12 Coppe Italia, 12 Supercoppe, 2 Campionati turchi e 1 coppa di Turchia.
Nella storia del basket, femminile e maschile, quasi nessuno ha vinto come Giorgia Sottana.
Piange perchè questo in foto è l'ultimo momento della sua carriera.
Noi eravamo lì con lei.
Ha ripercorso con noi tutta la sua carriera, commuovendosi più volte parlando di Schio, della Nazionale, dell'amore che prova per sua figlia Ellis e per sua moglie Kim Mestdagh, del peso dei giudizi delle persone, ma soprattutto di cos'abbia rappresentato per lei il basket. Siamo stati con lei a casa sua, ad allenamento, durante l'ultimo match tra Schio e Reyer Venezia, negli spogliato ed in mezzo alla festa Scudetto.

Ecco il video: https://t.co/pqpaptZ15N

È per noi un grande orgoglio aver avuto la possibilità di raccontare l'atto finale di una leggenda del genere.
Grazie Giorgia.

Beyond Disgusting - Studenten der @ugent:
Das ist eine Fallstudie: Warum es nichts nützt, dem Mob nachzugeben. Warum Gespräche mit Fanatikern kontraproduktiv und nicht nur sinnlos sind.

@ugent ist eine der offen antisemitischen Bildungsinstitute in Europa. Stolz sagt die Unipräsidentin:

"die Universität Gent in dieser Hinsicht bereits eine internationale Vorreiterrolle ein..., was den Abbruch von Beziehungen zu israelischen Wissenschaftlern anbelange."

1933 war man in Deutschland auf sehr ähnliche Sachen stolz.

Trotzdem ist die Uni vom Pali-Mob besetzt. Dessen Forderung:

"der völlige Boykott israelischer Partnereinrichtungen, die sie als »genozidale Institutionen« bezeichnen."

Mit der Leitung, die allen antisemitischen Wünschen schon im Mai 2024 (!!!) nachkam und mehrere Beziehungen zu Israel abbrach, will der Mob trotzdem nicht reden. Begründung:

»Wir werden nicht aufhören, bis alle unsere Forderungen erfüllt sind«, sagt der vermummte Mann auf Englisch mit einem unverkennbarem flämischen Akzent.

Das ist die Vorstellung aller Fanatiker: Es gibt keine Verhandlungen. Nur die Erfüllung eigener Forderungen. Wenn die zu 80% erfüllt sind, dann machen wir weiter, bis es 100 sind.

Besser wäre also schon 2024 gewesen: Ausschluss vom Studium, Hausverbot für den Mob. Aber klar: De Sutter, die seit Oktober 2025 als Rektorin amtiert und zuvor Grünen-Politikerin und stellvertretende belgische Premierministerin war, ist selbst Befürworterin strikter Sanktionen gegen Israel.
Was erwartet man da?

Gent hat eine unrühmliche Rolle im "Dritten Reich" gehabt, die man gerne in Abschlussarbeiten auch über @ugent selbst aufarbeitet, so lange es um tote Juden geht. Im Museum der Stadt steht bis heute Raubkunst, die nie zurückgebracht wurde.

Honestly?

@WolfMalca - tagge Dich jetzt so lange bei allem von Interesse, bis X endlich wieder die Timelines richtig aktiviert...)

Once again, the Gaza “aid flotilla” demonstrates how utterly useless and moronic forms of “activism” are a drain of resources and human power that could have been allocated elsewhere to actually make a difference, not just make a point. This is what happens when Bill Murray’s “Groundhog Day” film becomes somewhat of a reality; when a failed strategy is repeated again and again on a recurring time loop that always produces the same outcome with the same exact worthlessness. Ironically, the Gaza “aid flotilla” trying the same failed thing over and over while expecting different results, somewhat mirrors what Palestinian factions and political leaders have been doing for decades, especially when it comes to the “resistance” narrative – as if the Palestinian people need any more external affirmation of failed and miserable actions that have only produced death, destruction, and failures. Of course Israel wasn’t going to allow these ships to go through; of course Israel will try to intercept these ships in international waters to avoid having to deal with them on its soil; of course Israel will face no real pushback or meaningful opposition to its actions against the flotilla, and therefore, you’re not going to “draw attention” to Israeli actions no matter how aggressive and hostile they are.

Gazans don’t need symbolic amounts of aid to “draw attention” to their plight; hundreds of trucks enter the Strip daily loaded with supplies and materials that are quantitatively greater per capita than aid entering Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, Mali, Ethiopia, Somalia, Syria, Cuba, Afghanistan, or the DRC. What Gazans need is someone to call out the unequal distribution of aid and assistance; Gazans need someone to expose Hamas’s crimes against an exhausted population; Gazans need attention drawn to the Egyptian siege of the Rafah border crossing and the prevention of thousands of patients and travelers unable to pass through Cairo’s airport to the outside world; Gazans need pressure on Hamas to disarm and sacrifice so that 2 million Palestinians can live and have a chance at reconstruction and a better future; Gazans need financial support to purchase inflated food and basic items that the cost of the “aid flotilla” could have paid for; Gazans don’t need performative sympathy but require actually helpful actions which often mean working with Israel, Egypt, the US, and those with influence in a pragmatic, unemotional manner.

Enough with the flotilla bullshit – enough with Western activists having sex, dancing, and playing sports on boats while sailing to “save” Gazans – stop wasting time, resources, and attention and do something meaningful for once in your lives!

Heartbreaking 💔
This morning, right after President Trump’s speech, the Iranian regime moved fast and hanged 18-year-old protester.

Yes, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, there are no “less radical” leaders in Iran.

From the courtroom to the prison cell, from the interrogator to the judge, this is a unified system of terror. So this is the Islamic Republic: a system with a Stone Age approach to dissent, executing its own young people to stay in power.

This is not about left or right.
This is about life, dignity, and the future of a nation.

His name is Amirhossein Hatami. 18 years old. His “crime”? Demanding Freedom, dignity, and a normal life.
No lawyer. No independent media to be his voice, No fair trial. No final goodbye to his family. But of course a forced confession on State TV after being tortured to admit a crime that he has committed never committed.

And his friends may be next.

By the way, where are the anti-war activists?
Why don’t we hear you campaigning against mass arrests, and executions in Iran ? Would you demand that the Iranian regime stop its war on unarmed people?
Stop the executions.
Stop the torture.
End the total #DigitalBlackOut imposed on Iran.

This is about standing with the people of Iran against a regime that has massacred more than 40,000 of its own citizens and is now killing those arrested in the same uprising

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

Iran's security forces killed thousands of protesters in Mashhad and Isfahan during the January 8–9 protests, among the deadliest days of the nationwide uprising.

The third episode of “A Massacre in Iran” examines the nights of killings in Mashhad, Najafabad, and Isfahan, including footage shown for the first time.

Narrated by Iran International’s Farnoush Faraji (@farnooshfam), the documentary draws on eyewitness accounts and local sources.

@ArneRuts @DelaereFrank @sporza In de zomer laat China punten liggen op de Asia Cup en zelf win je het EK. Je nadert dus op de ranking. En dan laat je je basisvijf thuis voor een kwalificatiewedstrijd voor Eurobasket 2027, waarop ook punten te verdienen zijn. Was dit niet geweten?

[Jan Collet @JanCollet]

@DelaereFrank @ArneRuts Geen verwijt naar de speelsters, maar heeft de staf hier geen boter op het hoofd? Aan de reactie te zien op @sporza lijkt men wel verrast.

[Jan Collet @JanCollet]

@sporza EK-kwalificatie in Litouwen zonder basisvijf met verlies als logisch gevolg, is achteraf gezien een dure misrekening. Elke FIBA-wedstrijd telt voor de ranking, zelfs het puntenverschil (+15) speelt een rol, ook al voor de hervorming van het systeem. Wist men dit niet?

[Jan Collet @JanCollet]

@ArneRuts Winnaar van een poule op WK gaat rechtstreeks naar kwartfinale, speelt een wedstrijd minder en heeft dus een extra rustdag. Krachtendosering is niet onbelangrijk op zo’n tornooi. Spijtig, dus.

[Jan Collet @JanCollet]

@ArneRuts EK-kwalificatie in Litouwen zonder basisvijf met verlies als logisch gevolg, zou wel eens een dure misser kunnen geweest zijn. Moet wel toegeven dat ik de berekening achter de ranking niet begrijp (ondanks de faq) om 0,4 punten te plaatsen.

Achtung! Das ist keine Übung! Seit einigen Tagen verbreiten Kanäle in Sozialen Medien Symbole und Ideologie einer "Volksrepublik Narwa", die eine separatistische Bewegung innerhalb Estlands suggerieren und anleiten sollen. Das Playbook ist bekannt. 🧵
